If you’re looking at the news of the last week with tired eyes and a heavy heart, you need books. Books fix things, and make them worse. This is a quick list of some books and short stories that might make you feel differently.

Books

Little Brother — Free ebook, details the aftermath of a fictional terrorist attack, and the way a few teens respond to the extreme surveillance in the style of the patriot act.

Pirate Cinema — Free ebook. Kids are stealing movies, and making new ones, while living off-grid in London, 20 minutes in the future.

Makers — Free ebook. The world economy is collapsing, and something new is emerging. This book is, in many ways, an artifact of the early 2000s, but it presents so many interesting ideas about the future of work, and the future of self organiztion.
